    Here in the US they were never learned.

    Even Biden leaned into “if we stop testing, we’d have fewer cases” even though he never said it out loud like Trump.

      Hes not wrong…but it’s a head-in-sand approach. Part of why “Don’t look up” was too on-the-nose when it came out.

        Still is. Maybe even more, even though the pandemic was a perfect example to show its relevance to reality.

        It never happened like that. There wasn’t a head in the sand approach. OP made it up

      If he never said that, how do you know he believed it?

      even though that never happened im going to say it did anyways

      History says otherwise.

      “The plan itself is well-articulated, clear and ambitious — appropriate given the challenge,” says Michelle Williams, an epidemiologist and dean of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. But, she adds, “execution is always challenging.”

      At the time Biden assumed office, cases and deaths were hitting record highs and the newly launched vaccines were in short supply. To move the country past “a dark winter of this pandemic,” Biden pledged to restore public trust, vaccinate the country, minimize COVID-19 spread and reopen society — with a focus on equity — and resume America’s global leadership.
